Re: [ST] MCN 05 ST Review



Really came out bad for Triumph.  Sounds like they got a bike that was not prepped at all or was thrashed by other mags first.  I usually put a lot of faith in MCN, but certainly would not by a VFR as a result of this test.  Wonder if Triumph will provide a properly set up unit or weatehr they consider MCN as a mag with little influence.  It's one of the few I read from cover to cover.
